is it really necessary to restart the frr daemons?

Hello,
I'am running two Opnsense firewalls in a routed setup in production. Now i come from Cisco and juniper firewalls and on these firewalls i can change a config without interruption of traffic. With Opnsense it do or want after any change in the frr config a reload of daemons with interruption of traffic. So my question is is it really necessary to do that? Or can it in a future version without restarting the daemons?
Thanks!

In theory not but I just don't know an easy way to reload the entire configuration in an automated way without leftovers from before.

Currently it is .. and it wont change soon.
The problem is that you would need to write and API for the API ..
If this is a showstopper you can always just use the pkg without the UI.
